And Soon I Get to Be WARM!

Less than a week away!

Time For Reflection

Now that 2008 is coming to an end, I couldn't help but think about everything that has happened this past year. Just a few were:

I started working for U of P.
Jim started working Mon. - Thursday, with holidays off.
I was able to meet my in-laws and loved every one of them.
Jim and I celebrated our first anniversary and still love (and even like) each other.
We were able to have a successful harvest with our garden.
Jim and I began our cake decorating adventures.
I became a member of the local juvenile justice council.
Jim received a clean bill of health from the doctor.
And the best part of all, Jim and I were able to be sealed for time and all eternity.

I remember that as a little kid, adults always would say as you got older, time went by faster. I used to always roll my eyes at that one, but have realized the validity of that statement with each passing year. In such a hurried, automated world, sometimes it is nice to just take a moment and be in the moment. Remembering to just breath. This is always not an easy task.

I look forward to a new year and the possibility that it will bring. I know of my hopes and desires for this new year, but have quickly come to learn that it is not always up to me or turns out how I want. You have to look at it as an adventure, like those reader choice books where you choose what you want to happen next. (I was always one to read the different endings to see which one I would choose.) No two days are the same. Each one has its own surprises, challenges, twists and turns. Living in the moment and cherishing each one. That is what I hope for most of all.

Mother Nature, You Are Such a Tease!

Yesterday it was a beautiful, sunny day, not a cloud in the sky. Looks like a great day to go out!

WRONG!!

It is unhumanly cold and thank goodness for thermals! What a tease!

Come On Sun!!

The shortest day of the year has come and gone once again and we are now starting to get more daylight! YEAH!!!

Yummy Goodness!

For all of you huckleberry fans, Tillamook now has huckleberry ice cream! (Or at least I just discovered it today.) Our mouths just drooled as we walked on past it. Since I could only have about a tablespoon full a day, we decided to pass. Kudos to my husband for supporting me.

Keep Your Fingers Crossed!

Well, I go back on Metformin tomorrow and the Clomid has been increased for the last time, so we will see what happens. I am excited to go back on the Metformin, but am not looking forward to the 1st week sickness that goes with it. Hopefully, it won't be as bad as last time and I won't be sick on Christmas. Keep your fingers crossed and stay tuned . . . .

Yeah Me!

I just received my peer review back and they were all positive comments and even commended me for going above and beyond what was expected by the University! I am just glad that is over.
